- Abortion in Ohio A person who intends to perform or induce an abortion on a pregnant woman shall determine whether there is a detectable fetal heartbeat of the unborn human individual the pregnant woman is carrying., This can be in as little as 6 weeks after conception, except in the city of Lebanon, Ohio, where abortion at all stages of pregnancy has been outlawed by local ordinance since 2021. Mason, Ohio, also banned abortion at all stages in 2021, but its ordinance doing so was repealed later that year. On April 11, 2019, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed the Human Rights and Heartbeat Protection Act, which bans abortion in the state after an embryonic cardiac activity is detectable. On June 24, 2022, after the Supreme Court of the United States overturned Roe v. Wade, judge Michael R. Barrett lifted a preliminary injunction that had blocked state officials from enforcing the law against certain abortion providers, allowing the Human Rights and Heartbeat Protection Act to take full effect. The law of Ohio imposes felony criminal liability on anyone who performs or aids or abets an abortion after embryonic cardiac activity can be detected. There is an ongoing medical discussion on whether "fetal heartbeat" is an appropriate term. On September 15, 2022, a Hamilton County Common Pleas Court judge granted a 14-day restraining order against the state law prohibiting doctors from performing abortions after electrical "cardiac" activity is found, pausing a law that took effect after federal abortion protections were overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court in June. On October 7, the judge granted a motion for preliminary injunction against the abortion bans. The decision means abortions through 22 weeks’ gestation can continue for now, in keeping with state law in place before the ban.“S.B. 23 clearly discriminates against pregnant women and places an enormous burden on them to secure safe and effective health care such that it violates Ohio’s Equal Protection and Benefit Clause and is therefore unconstitutional,” Judge Christian A. Jenkins wrote in his order. (en)
